Redux - Bf-110 Zerstörer

Ah, back in the day when I built models using Testor's glue when it still contained, what was it, toluene? Spent more time sniffing the glue than building the damn models...

IIRC wasn't the problem that the new glue rotted the wood or something like that? I do remember reading that the primary glue factory did get bombed forcing a change in suppliers.

Basically. The substitute glue apparently ate into the wood and caused structural failures. The original Tego Film did not.
 
And with no time to check I guess everyone assumed the new glue was as good as the old. And found out the hard way it wasn't...

I don't think they assumed it necessary was, but they had no choice but to try anything given that they were losing the war.
